If the Windows user is invoking LP by double-clicking a .ly
file the only way to see the console output is via the log file.
It is essential for this mode of working.  Most Windows users
would do this, at least at the start, when it is essential that they
see the error messages.

The alternative is to use an editor which can launch a
compilation and capture the console output (that's what I
do), or to invoke LP from the command line DOS box
(not natural for most Windows users)
